I took it and passed a couple of weeks ago. The objectives are the same as
the three separate tests, about 70 questions on each section (not exact, but
about 70). Each section is graded separately at the end, and you need a
passing score in each section. No going back and marking questions. I
found that there was substantial overlap between the topics, with similar
technologies such as ISDN in both the remote access and routing portions,
and multicast in both switching and routing, for example. The objectives
on the Cisco site PDFs for the three separate tests are what you should
know. I found the Exam Cram books helpful. The "Cram notes" inside the
front cover make good flash card material.
The advantages are less cost if you pass, and the ability to share time
amongst the three tests. The disadvantage is that you need to know more
at the same time than cramming for one test at a time. Different people
learn and study differently. I'm of the "Study like crazy and get it
all over with at once" philosophy. I took Support and Foundation on the
same day and passed both a couple of weeks ago. Conquered CCDA and CID
today.
